The present disclosure describes a shade-providing structure that includes a framework, a canopy, and an integrated electronic game system. The framework comprises a plurality of uprights, to which is mounted a plurality of elevated support beams. The elevated support beams are coupled to one another by a central hub. In some embodiments, the central hub may define an interior space, in which wiring from the plurality of electronic game units may be easily accessed for installation, repair, and/or to change the operation of the gaming system. The canopy is supported by the elevated support beams to provide a shaded area. The game system includes a plurality of electronic game units mounted to the plurality of uprights. The electronic game units may be operably connected to one another either by wires that extend through the framework or by wireless technology. The electronic game system is preferably configured to stimulate physical play, for instance by encouraging a child to move between the various game units.

A role simulation method and a terminal apparatus in a VR scene are provided. The role simulation method in the VR scene includes: obtaining a role obtaining instruction triggered by a hand model in the VR scene, movement of the hand model in the VR scene being controlled by an interaction controller; determining a virtual role from the VR scene according to the role obtaining instruction; dynamically adjusting virtual props in the VR scene according to a music file played in the VR scene; displaying the virtual role in the VR scene through a VR display, and displaying the virtual props that are dynamically adjusted.

The application describes techniques for adaptively setting a threshold that will be used to determine the gain applied to a haptics signal.

The present invention relates to a method for touch control in a mobile real-time simulation game. Particularly, the present invention relates to a touch control method which can provide a function selected among predetermined functions according to the interval from when a touch has been input to when the next touch is input and the pattern type of input touch. A method for touch control in a simulation game performed using multiple units according to one aspect of the present invention may comprises: a first step for displaying the simulation game through a display unit; a second step for inputting a touch having a first pattern on at least a partial area of the display unit; a third step for inputting a touch having a predetermined function, using the interval between when the touch having the first pattern is input and when the touch having the second pattern is input and the pattern type of the input touch having the first pattern and the input touch having the second pattern.

A gaming machine having an audio channel outputting game sound and an audio channel intaking microphone sound and outputing chat sound is coupled with a headset having earpieces and a microphone and a Bluetooth transceiver in the headset for sending and receiving the microphone and chat sounds. A radio receiver or wired connection in the headset receives the game sounds. Circuitry in the headset is connected between the transceiver and receiver for mixing the microphone, chat, and game sounds and feeding them all to the earpieces.

Systems and methods for controlling performance of a digital character depicted at a display device are disclosed. According to at least one embodiment, a method for controlling performance of a digital character depicted at a display device includes: determining a presence of a person located in a physical environment; and in response to determining the presence of the person, facilitating control of the performance of the digital character depicted at the display device by a human operator, by an artificial intelligence (AI) game-engine, or by a combination thereof.

Disclosed are a method, a device, a system, and/or a manufacture of a mental and physical challenge through recalling and inputting a sequence of touch inputs and/or sound inputs. In one embodiment, a device for engaging a user in a mental and/or physical challenge includes a platform capable of laying substantially flat on a surface, two or more touch sensors attached to the platform for receiving a touch input from the user, two or more visual indicators of the platform, a speaker for providing a sound indicator, and a microphone for receiving a sound input from the user. A computer memory includes a sequence data specifying a set of inputs, a sequence indication routine for generating an input indication of the sequence data, and a comparison routine for comparing the sequence data to the input data to provide a score and/or a rank.
